Dublin pub's hilarious reply to one-star 'kip' review over 'atmosphere and staff' on Google

A popular Dublin pub has hilariously snapped back at a "kip" review about its staff and atmosphere on Google.

The reviewer, Anthony, visited Doyle's Corner in Phibsborough recently but was not impressed and advised fellow revellers to "avoid".

He said: "Absolute kip all round. Staff were rude and the portions of food were very small" adding that the "atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired."

The pub said it was their first negative review in years so Doyle's decided to respond to the complaint in brilliant fashion, Dublin Live reports.

They said: "Hi Anthony. Thanks for your feedback. I have only 1% left on my battery so will use this opportun..."

The hilarious reply suddenly ends mid-sentence after the pub spokesperson said that their phone was about to go dead.

There was mixed opinions about the review as well as the pub's reply.

One person said: "Maybe the person just had a really bad experience? Might be advisable to take bad reviews on the chin and move on, regardless of how badly worded they are."

They added: "Everyone gets them. The initial response to the comment is petty and doesn’t come across well at all."

But another commenter could see the pub's point saying: "There's always someone looking for something free, thinking the world owes them something."
